Selecting sustainable alternatives for cruise ships in Venice using multi-cri...Marco Pesce
The rapid growth of cruise ship tourism increases the use of historic port cities as strategic hubs for cruise ship
operators. Benefits derived from increased tourism for the municipality and cruise ships are often at odds with
the environmental and social impacts associated with continued historical port use. This study illustrates the
use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) for weighing of various criteria and metrics related to the environment,
economy, and social sustainability for the selection of a sustainable cruise line route. Specifically,
MCDA methodology was employed in Venice, Italy to illustrate its application. First, the four most representative
navigational route projects among those presented to local authorities were assessed based on social, economic,
and environmental considerations. Second, a pool of experts representing the local authority, private port businesses,
and cruise line industry were consulted to evaluate the validity and weight assignments for the selected
criteria. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was employed to assess the robustness of the recommendations using an
evaluation of weight changes and their effects on the ranking of alternative navigational routes. The results
were presented and discussed in a multi-stakeholder meeting to further the route selection process.
The document discusses the impact of COVID-19 on global shipping and supply chains. It notes that blank sailings reduced excess capacity while keeping freight rates stable in the first half of 2020. Major ports in China, India, and Sri Lanka saw large drops in volumes of 20-50% in the first few months of the year. The challenges for ports include further loss of volumes, less frequent vessel calls, and potential outbreaks on terminals. However, ports may pursue opportunities such as attracting transhipment business, diversifying offerings, and increasing digitization across supply chains.
This document discusses transport routing and vehicle routing problems. It begins by explaining that routing problems aim to find the best path for delivery vehicles between customers, though real problems are more complex with competing aims, uncertain costs, and variable conditions. Two general approaches are outlined: considering optimal routes regardless of roads, and finding shortest routes through actual road networks. The document then lists some specific routing methods, such as negotiations between parties or minor adjustments to previous plans.
Intermodal transport involves using more than one mode of transportation for the same transport container to integrate advantages of different transport modes. It aims to achieve an effective combination of cost, delivery time, and service quality. Key features include using standard transport units that are suitable for loading, carriage, and unloading while maintaining compatibility across the transportation process chain.
This chapter discusses transportation management strategies. It covers reducing the number of carriers, negotiating with carriers, contracting with carriers, consolidating shipments, and monitoring service quality. The chapter also discusses the economic deregulation of transportation in the US and key documentation in domestic and international shipments such as bills of lading, freight bills, claims, and terms of sale. Learning objectives are defined to understand proactive transportation management and key concepts.
